Patient-centered technology and more HERE FOR YOU WITH THE VERY BEST

“Our goal is always to provide our patients with proven, cutting-edge techniques and technology that can improve their experience and their outcome.” —Dr. Adam Goodyear, orthopedic surgeon

STATE-OF-THE-ART ROBOTIC SURGERY Orthopedic surgery with the Mako system Thanks to our generous donors, LMH Health acquired a Mako robotic arm in 2020 to assist the hospital’s orthopedists with knee and hip replacements. Dr. Adam Goodyear, an orthopedic surgeon at OrthoKansas, said the Mako system can be more precise than traditional surgical techniques because it can create a 3D model of each patient’s joint.

“Recent studies have demonstrated that patients have decreased levels of pain and shorter hospital stays when having a total joint replacement with the Mako system,” Dr. Goodyear said.

In spring 2021, LMH Health OrthoKansas earned The Joint Commission’s Gold Seal of Approval® for advanced total hip and knee replacement.
